In the past, developers always wanted their automated software build tools running on x86 like their PCs. But now developers on Mac would prefer ARM. Except we already have to use Linux on the servers if we don't want a Mac Mini server, and Linux already needs different binaries so it really doesn't make much difference if the server is ARM or x86.
